Question 1112417: Happy Times’ offer a 15% discount off all holidays booked up to three months in advance. How much a family of 2 adults and 4 children will aged 6, 8, 12 and 14 pay for a holiday whose advertised price is £365 each with a 50% reduction for children under 14 years of age?

there are 2 adults and 4 children.

3 of the children qualify for the 50% reduction because they are less than 14 years of age.

3 of the members of the family pay full fare price.
3 of the members of the family pay half of the full fare price.

the full fare price is 365 pounds.

3 * 365 = 1095
3 * 365 * .5 = 547.5

the total full fare price for the family would be 1095 + 547.5 = 1642.5 pounds.

if the family books the holiday up to 3 months in advance, they get an additional 15% discount.

the discount fare price they would pay would then be 1642.5 - .15 * 1642.5 = .85 * 1642.5 = 1396.125 pounds.
